    Setup questions related to accessing BI through a routers VPN

    Hey there, Just FYI, I use openVPN on my ASUS router to grant my iphone access to the local network even when Im away from the house. It works great when I want in, but since the VPN disables itself when I come and go, Ive found that I dont get notifications (presumably unless I turn my VPN...

    Lorex LNB3163 Cameras with Blue Iris?

    Hey Gang, Costco is offering up a $200 discount on a nice looking Lorex Kit so I pulled the trigger (its shipping next week). This is a starting point for me, and admittedly, I opted to go this route because Im still pretty green and prefer the costco and Lorex-US support...
